I have to say your wife does wear it best Mr Paltrow.


A women was in front of me in a queue with that haircut, I couldn't help but laugh. She turned around and asked what was so funny. I panicked and said ''I heard a funny joke today''. I thought I was home and dry, but no. "Oh what was the joke?", satan-haircut-lady asked. I was in too deep and said, "Knock, knock"....the lady didn't reply so I said the "who's there" part myself (demoralizing). "Doctor"..."Doctor who?"...."That's right!". She just rolled her eyes and sighed. Basically, the fucking haircut/blog thrust me into a socially awkward situation with someone I can only describe as a cunt.

It certainly did. This haircut is the new Marlyn Manson. As in-it's going to be blamed for murders and start moral panics, not that it makes awful music, although it probably will do that, and sound a lot like Nickleback covering the Jonas Brothers covering Crispin Glover.

(I am so, so sorry. I misread "Photoshop skillz" as "subpar skillz even for MS paint.")

Is anyone else jealous of Gabe's sun-kissed tan? I know I am!

I have to say that Gwyneth wore it better. Or maybe she didn't wear it better, but the haircut was better. Did Kate whatever cut it herself?

As a hairdresser, I must say, they are two different haircuts.

Gwen's is an early 90's shagged bob (but still classic!). Notice the delicate but blended layers around her face and the stacked back. Very Friends-ish and I'm-dating-Brad-Pitt-and-I-am-so-classy-but-artistic.

What I will refer to as "the Gosselin" is an adult version of a current, emo look. You may note the spiky front and disconnected front. She is trying to be young, but just coming off pathetic. Very, I-feel-inadequate-so-I'm-getting-a-hip-new-haircut.

Gwen's is better.

I'm also not sure what to be sorry for. The fact that I know the difference between the haircuts, or that Gwen's is so much better.

This is like who wears an 8-ball jacket better - no one wins and everyone is a little bit sadder for trying..

I gave up on that a long time ago (yesterday). I think Mr. Paltrow knows that the truth will set him free.

why is this a thing on the huffington post? why is this a thing period? why are these people things that we're comparing to eachother? I don't mean to go all feelingsgum on you, this comment thread, but sometimes pop culture makes me cry. but i guess there'd be no little boys singing johnny cash without it.

They left out the most important category in the vote: "Neither, They're awful." That would have won in a landslide.
